Math Problem Statement
Solution
The task involves calculating vector sums where the vectors are given in newtons. Here's a breakdown of each part of the task:
a) F1 + F2:
- Given vectors in cells A1:A4, representing x and y components of F1 and F2.
- Follow these steps to calculate:
- Calculate the x-component:
- Calculate the y-component:
- Resultant vector magnitude:
- Direction: Since y-component is 0, angle is 0 degrees.
b) F3 + F4:
- Given vectors in cells A5:A8, representing x and y components of F3 and F4.
- Follow these steps to calculate:
- Calculate the x-component:
- Calculate the y-component:
- Resultant vector magnitude:
- Direction: degrees.
c) F5 + F6:
- Given in A9:A12 as magnitude and direction.
- Convert to components:
- F5: Magnitude 67.169, angle 5.67 degrees
- F6: Magnitude 111.128, angle 111.13 degrees
- F5: Magnitude 67.169, angle 5.67 degrees
- Calculate the resultant components:
- Resultant vector magnitude:
- Direction: degrees.
Make sure to adjust angles to fit within the range -180 to 180 degrees when necessary.
